Chapter 897 The Power of Life and Death in the Longevity Realm (Part 2)
The air rushed past my ears, and I felt as if I were wrapped in a thick shell of ice.

In that instant, Su Che felt that he could no longer see, hear, speak, or move...

Not to mention wielding extraordinary supernatural powers, even the body itself is resisting its own will.

A chill rose from the heavens and earth, penetrating the core of his soul.

Decline, sorrow, despair...

Everything seemed to have entered the legendary end times, all supernatural powers vanished, all paths to transcendence were severed, and all that remained was the gradual aging and decay of life as time passed.

"Heaven and earth have rejected it, and the end of the Dharma is coming."

In this moment, Su Che still opened his hands and looked at the bluish-green veins on the back of his hands.

This is not normal.

As a cultivator who has already entered the Void Realm, he is no longer a mortal. His flesh and blood, bones and muscles are merely external appearances. What truly supports the operation of this body is his own "laws" or "foundation".

Humans are the fundamental vessels that bear the Great Dao; this is not a rhetorical device, but a reality.

"I never imagined that Bai Ningzhi, as a true immortal, could achieve such a feat."

Su Che sighed softly.

He had underestimated this female cultivator from the Myriad Spirits Sect.

While cultivators at the Void Step stage can forcibly alter the operation of the laws of heaven and earth in a region through their domains, the Immortal of Longevity can do even more.

Just a moment ago, Bai Ningzhi used her supreme magical power to forcibly smooth out and suppress all the "changes" in the primordial energy of heaven and earth.

She essentially used her own magical powers to completely erase all traces left by others in the world.

In other words, Bai Ningzhi forcibly erased all means by which magical power could be used.

Such supernatural abilities can be said to have exceeded the limits that ordinary immortals can achieve.

It is a feat that only spirit shamans and a few great cultivators can achieve: "severing the connection between heaven and earth."

Cut off all reliance on external methods and knock others down in their spiritual realm.

Birds are able to fly because they have air sacs in their bodies, and their wings can move to create air waves, which is a flight that is carried out under the natural laws of heaven and earth.

However, the flight of spiritual practitioners is not a natural phenomenon.

Regardless of the underlying principles, all different escape techniques are built upon the foundation of "taking one's own will as the will of Heaven" and forcibly distorting the laws of Heaven and Earth.

For example, Su Che has many ways to escape by flying.

For example, by using the "Secret Manual of Yin and Yang of Zhou", one can make one's own body almost ghostly. This is to distort the Yin and Yang principles between heaven and earth, turning the physical body into a phantom. Such flight in the dark night is incredibly fast.

If one borrows the sword intent of creation and follows the sword escape path, one will wrap oneself in a powerful sword intent, cut through all obstacles in front of one's path, and use the powerful sword intent as a driving force. Although the consumption is extremely high, the speed and power are even more terrifying.

The Yin-Yang Magnetic Method constructs a magnetic pole at a distance that is completely opposite to one's own, and uses the attraction and repulsion of the magnetic pole itself to blur the original attributes of the body.

The essence of all these transformations from decay to wonder lies in disrupting the original natural order between heaven and earth.

After all, according to the laws of nature, there is absolutely no reason for humans to fly on their own.

At this moment, Bai Ningzhi looked down from her high position and started with the primordial energy of heaven and earth. This was equivalent to using a technique that could turn the earth into steel, covering a wider area, and transforming a region into a forbidden zone where others could not use their supernatural powers.

Naturally, the countless demons in the sky vanished without a trace, and Su Che resolutely fell.

This was a declaration that this world now belonged solely to Bai Ningzhi, and no other juniors were allowed to touch it. "The Immortal Changsheng is truly a terrifying opponent. If it were in the past, I would have been utterly defeated. But alas, I am no longer the person I once was..."

During his time within the Longevity Sect, Su Che truly came into contact with the realms and, through supernatural means such as the "Taiyi Donghua Jade Book," the "Three Worlds Ming King Heretical Cultivation Method," and the "Longevity Ascension Diagram," integrated what he had gained within the Earth Official Immortal Mansion.

Not only has his strength reached a new level, but the methods and magical powers he can use are also beyond the imagination of others.

"drink……"

With his right hand forming a hand seal, a burst of brilliant blue light flashed around Su Che.

As it descended, it was swallowed whole by the nine-headed blue lion that had been roaming nearby.

Little thief...

As soon as the Nine-Headed Green Lion succeeded, Bai Ningzhi immediately sensed it.

These three spirit beasts were nurtured from her own "spiritual garden." The "spiritual garden" of the Witch Cultivator is similar to the realm of the Xuanmen cultivators, but it is also different.

The spirit shaman intercepts the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, communicates with the laws of heaven and earth, and uses blood as a catalyst to awaken the spirit of heaven and earth. For the spirit shaman, there is no such thing as a cold, mechanical external world filled with and operated by the nine laws of heaven and man.

According to the spirit shaman, the world contains infinite spiritual energy, and by following its changes, one can unleash boundless power.

The "spiritual garden" constructed by the shaman is a method of cultivating the "spirituality" between heaven and earth to fit its own path.

The Spirit Garden is similar to the Dharma Realm of cultivators, both being a manifestation of their own understanding of heaven and earth. However, although the results are similar, their origins are completely different.

It's like traveling to a distant place; some people ride horses, some travel by carriage. The only difference is the tool used, not the fundamental nature of the journey.

Bai Ningzhi's Spirit Garden possesses the wonder of "hiding spirits." She takes the essence and blood of countless spirit beasts and incorporates them into the Spirit Garden, carefully cultivating them to eventually produce spirit beasts with extraordinary supernatural powers that are not actually real.

With the loss of Yang marrow, Bai Ningzhi felt a significant reduction in her mental pressure.

Her change of path to seek a new way out in the Western Paradise was not a secret within the sect, but since the Wanling Sect was located in a remote corner, not many people knew about it.

However, embarking on this path is not so easy.

The Buddha's teachings are boundless. Although it is said that those who have faith can be saved, there are still different levels among believers.

For someone like Bai Ningzhi, who has already achieved success in cultivation and then enters the Buddhist path, the most difficult step is changing her foundation. Even if she achieves something, it is still considered inferior.

In Buddhism, there is a concept of the "Three Vehicles of Buddhism," namely the Śrāvakayāna, the Pratyekabuddhayāna, and the Bodhisattvayāna.

The Śrāvakayāna means "hearing the Dharma through hearing," and it has the broadest scope within Buddhism. Generally, anyone who considers themselves a Buddhist disciple can be classified into this category.

The Pratyekabuddha Vehicle refers to those who have already cultivated themselves and gained some understanding of the laws of heaven and earth, and then also practice Buddhism. Even immortals like Bai Ningzhi who have turned to Buddhism can be included in this category.

Strictly speaking, even Young Master Su, who possesses the Future Star Tribulation Scripture, could be categorized into this group.

Finally, there is the Bodhisattva Vehicle, also known as the Mahayana, which is the foundation of Buddhism. It is for those who cultivate the Tripitaka (the three baskets of Buddhist scriptures): Sutra, Vinaya, and Abhidharma.

The sutras are the Buddha's teachings. The precepts are the Buddha's essence. The treatises are the Buddha's complete teachings.

Only when all three are present can one be considered a true Bodhisattva in their practice and a Buddhist disciple.

For the Third Young Master Su, the title "Master" is only suitable; it doesn't even begin to describe him.

However, if Bai Ningzhi wants to move in this direction now, the most important thing is that she cannot rely on the word "theory".

Because her spiritual achievements did not ultimately originate from Buddhism.
